Range Anxiety
Dad and daughter take an overnight road trip which turns into a heart-achingly funny journey through radio waves, family strife and low batteries.
Drive, Clive, drive!
Clive Coombs attempts to prove his credentials as a father by driving his daughter through the night to a plane that will take her to the other side of the world.
As he drives, the weight of all his worries start to hijack the airwaves of his radio - his faltering marriage, his disintegrating sense of self and whether the small battery in his electric car will ever get his daughter to the plane on time. A heart-achingly funny new comedy drama brought to life with a host of familiar Radio 4 voices.
